Ryanair web check-in passengers face new charge

Ryanair announced changes to its optional priority boarding service which allows passengers to be first to board their flights.

Airport check-in passengers currently pay €5 (Lm2.15) for this service, while web check-in passengers receive this service for free in order to promote online check-in.

But from June 3, although web check-in will remain free, these passengers will no longer receive priority boarding free of charge but will have to pay the €5 (Lm2.15) fee.

From June 3, Ryanair will introduce an online name change facility which will allow passengers to make name changes up to 24 hours before travel.
